Top 5 contenders for the European Golden boot this season

Cristiano Ronaldo (Juventus)

Ronaldo will look forward to more goalscoring exploits, but this time in the black and white of Juventus

After his sensational move to Juventus and the Serie A this summer, Cristiano Ronaldo would be looking forward to terrorizing the Italian defences this season.

A poor start to last year's league campaign and Zidane's rotational policy saw Ronaldo bag just 26 goals (in 27 league games), a disappointing return by his lofty standards.

In a league known for its defensive style of play, Ronaldo will have to work hard to notch up the kind of goalscoring numbers he was accustomed to at Real. But with players like Douglas Costa and Paulo Dybala assisting him, he has a very good chance of doing that.

With 4 Golden Boots to his name, he will look to equalize Leo Messi's record of 5 this year. And doing it in a league like the Serie A will make it an even better achievement.
